Answer:

150 pennies were lost altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies

Mathematically ;

x + y = 350 •••••••(i)

So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.

Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left

So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies

This means that;

x/2 = 2y/3

Cross multiply;

3x = 4y •••••••(ii)

Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;

From i , x = 350-y

Substitute this into equation ii

3(350-y) = 4y

1050-3y = 4y

7y = 1050

y = 1050/7

y = 150

since x = 350-y

x = 350-150 = 200

Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100

Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50

Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150

What is the value of z?
UNO [17]

Answer:

z =23

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees.

62+95+z = 180

Combine like terms

157 +z = 180

Subtract 157 from each side

157-157 +z = 180-157

z =23
